Film construction
PE or required material system, color, single- or multi-layer structure and any additive requirement.
Plastic mulch film for commercial supply
Start with the field requirement, then define the roll.
Plastic mulch film is used over planting beds to manage light at the soil surface, retain moisture and influence soil temperature. The correct film is not determined by color alone. Crop cycle, climate, installation method, bed dimensions and disposal requirements all affect the specification.
TIAN FENG manufactures custom PE mulch film for agricultural distributors, growers and project buyers. Use this page to compare the available structures, prepare your roll data and send a specification that can be reviewed before pricing.
Product range
Choose by field condition
Each product page covers a specific film structure. Final performance depends on the complete specification and local growing conditions.
Light blocking
Black mulch film
Commonly selected where light exclusion, weed-pressure management and moisture retention are priorities.
View black mulch film
Solar transmission
Transparent mulch film
Allows more solar energy to reach the soil and is often considered for early-season warming.
View transparent film
Reflective surface
White / black mulch film
A white upper surface reflects more radiation while the black underside provides light blocking.
View white / black film
Reflective management
Silver / black mulch film
A reflective face combined with an opaque underside for projects with defined light and heat objectives.
View silver / black film
Standard-led selection
Biodegradable mulch film
Specify the required standard, crop cycle, local conditions and supporting documentation before selection.

Compare the structure before choosing the color
These are selection tendencies, not guaranteed field outcomes. Validate the structure against crop, climate and installation conditions.
| Film structure | Primary purpose | Soil temperature tendency | Light blocking | Confirm before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | General-purpose opaque mulch | Varies by climate and season | High when correctly specified | Thickness, crop cycle and installation tension |
| Transparent | Higher solar transmission | Typically stronger warming | Low | Weed strategy, season and required clarity |
| White / black | Reflective upper face with opaque underside | Typically moderates surface heating | High from the black layer | Layer orientation, opacity and reflectance target |
| Silver / black | Reflective and light-blocking combination | Depends on structure and environment | High from the black layer | Reflectance target, face direction and use objective |
| Biodegradable | End-of-cycle management under a defined standard | Product-specific | Product-specific | Applicable standard, crop cycle and documentation |
Important: color names do not define the complete product. Resin system, layer structure, pigments, thickness and exposure conditions can change performance.
Order specification
Define the roll before asking for a price.
A usable quotation begins with production data, not only a product name. Send the information below so material use, roll configuration and packing can be reviewed against your application.
Send your specificationFinished dimensions
Film width, target thickness or acceptable tolerance, and the dimensions of the covered planting bed.
Roll configuration
Roll length or weight, core requirement, maximum roll diameter and packing format.
Hole layout
Hole diameter, rows, spacing, pattern and the position of the first hole. A drawing is preferred.
Field conditions
Crop, expected field duration, climate, installation method and whether film is laid by hand or machine.
Commercial requirements
Order quantity, destination, labeling, pallet or carton requirements and required quality documents.
Bulk purchasing
Black mulch film order and sample terms
For the confirmed black PE mulch range, common roll specifications are 1.2 m × 1,000 m × 30 microns, 1.2 m × 500 m × 30 microns, and 1.0 m × 1,000 m × 20 microns. Confirm the final specification and packing in the quotation.
- Order quantity
- The black mulch film MOQ is 1 metric tonne (1,000 kg). List the quantity for each specification; confirm any allocation across sizes in the quotation.
- Production and delivery
- Black mulch film production lead time is 20 days. Confirm the starting point and dispatch plan in the quotation; shipping transit is separate.
- Samples
- Black mulch stock samples, when available, are free. If unavailable, sample making costs US$100 per specification. The buyer pays sample freight.
These confirmed terms apply to black mulch film. Ask for the MOQ, sampling and production terms for other colors or material systems separately. Review the black mulch film specifications before requesting a quote.
Production floor
Manufacturing and quality control
Quality is a sequence of checks, not a badge.
The approved order specification should remain the reference from material confirmation through packing. Inspection points depend on the product and purchase agreement; confirm the required records before production begins.
- Order and material specification confirmation
- Film extrusion to the approved construction
- Width and thickness inspection
- Perforation, rewinding and roll configuration
- Finished-roll, label and packing inspection
- Loading against the agreed packing list
Before production
What your team should approve
Reference sample or data sheet
Confirm which document or approved sample governs color, dimensions and construction.
Tolerance and inspection method
Agree how width, thickness, roll length, perforation and packing will be checked.
Artwork and identification
Approve labels, carton marks, pallet marks and traceability information before printing.
Required documents
List the test reports, declarations or shipment documents required for your destination and application.
Mulch Film Buying Guides
Choose a film structure, define the roll, review crop and soil-treatment applications, plan installation and prepare for end-of-season handling. Start with the guide that answers your current field or purchasing question.
Selection and specifications
Compare film construction, color and dimensions before confirming the order specification.
Plastic Mulch Colors
Compare black, white-on-black, silver-on-black and clear films against the planting season and field objective.
Plastic Mulch Thickness
Check micron and mil conversions, thickness measurements and tolerances before comparing proposed film grades.
Plastic Mulch Roll Sizes
Measure the bed profile, define finished film width and check roll length against the complete-strip cutting plan.
Biodegradable vs PE Mulch Film
Compare crop coverage, supporting evidence and end-of-use requirements before changing the material system.
Reflective Mulch
Distinguish silver-pigmented PE from metallized film, then review reflectance evidence, canopy cover and field-use limitations.
Plastic Mulch vs Landscape Fabric
Compare film and ground-cover fabrics by water delivery, growing system, installation and end-of-use requirements.
Quantity and installation
Turn the field layout into a roll requirement, then check the bed, irrigation and laying method.
How Much Plastic Mulch per Acre?
Estimate film length from production area and bed-center spacing, then separate purchased rolls, field use and remaining stock when comparing costs.
How to Lay Plastic Mulch
Review bed preparation, drip-tape testing, hand or machine laying, and edge anchoring before covering the full field.
Crop applications and soil preparation
Review application-specific film choices, bed layouts and treatment requirements before confirming a specification.
Plastic Mulch for Strawberries
Match mulch color, bed dimensions and planting-hole layout to the strawberry production system, planting season and irrigation plan.
Soil Solarization Plastic
Review clear-film selection, thickness, sealed edges and unpunched coverage for preplant soil solarization before confirming a film specification.
End-of-season handling
Plan removal and the receiving facility's requirements before the film leaves the field.
Plastic Mulch Removal and Disposal
Plan film recovery, separate drip tape and other materials, and confirm local collection or recycling acceptance before arranging transport.
